spider mites yikes!

i have a sativa indoors and it started to yellow at the bottom. i thought it was nothing until i noticed tiny spider webs all over the bottom. so i got some homeopathic stuff and hosed it down but im not sure if its too late for her. a few lower leaves were lost but shes turnin green again....slowly. is she gone?

No she isn't dead but may need some food. I'm not sure how you feel about spraying the plant to kill the mites. You could go hippie style with Neem oil or Azamax,safer bug spray,Einstein oil,or pyrethrin based killing sprays like pyganic. Some use miticides like floromite,avid, and shuttle to kill the mites but these should be LAST resorts unless your familiar with application rates and residuals. Make sure to clean out your whole room,lights,hoods,pots anywhere these little bastards can hide. There are a lot of ways to get rid of the mites and even more ways to get them.

If my grow were indoors, I would try the No Pest Strips that you can find most anywhere for $6. Lots of recommendations for that treatment and it will find the lil bastards wherever they are hiding. Follow that by finding the source so they are not re-introduced.. shoes, clothing, vents. I have been battling them outdoors, the strips were not an option.

Soap works by stripping the waxy coat off the bugs,they get dehydrated and die but you must keep a close eye on them because the mites may come back. Clean clean clean homie
